Fives was asleep finally after a long painful conversation about the chips in the back of their heads and the plot against the jedi. Rex had a glass of whiskey in his hand watching the ARC sleep peacefully since probably the Citadel. Neither Cody nor Rex had said anything since Fives had fallen asleep. It was a lot to digest in such a short amount of time.

"Do you believe him," Rex finally asked having to clear his throat lightly glancing at the 212th commander.

"Of course I do… I just… it's a lot to take in Rex," Cody replied shooting a glare to Rex before faltering moving a hand to the back of his head as if looking for something.

"You have your doubts though," Rex spoke turning his gaze back to Fives who had shifted lightly.

"I… I do. I don't want it to be true, but… Rex of all the years we've trained Echo and Fives I have never seen Fives so afraid. You saw how he… he paused when he started going into his death…. He's hiding something," Cody continued making sure to keep his voice down glancing over at Rex who took a swig of his whiskey.

"He doesn't want to get into details about his death. Something tells me that he's doing that on purpose. His story doesn't match up with how he got from Kamino to Coruscant," Rex hummed in agreement.

"Or how he learned of the chip in the first place," Cody nodded watching the ARC.

The two sat in silence until Rex clicked hid tongue lightly gritting his teeth anger rising in the captain. Cody glanced at him and reached out with one hand placing it on Rex's shoulder.

"Hey we'll figure this out. I'm having that chip removed as soon as I can. You should too. Fives won't go through this alone," Cody tried to reassure his vod.

"I know… he shouldn't have had to go through it in the first place though Codes. It's just not right," Rex sighed leaning into the touch.

"I know," Cody sighed turning his head to Fives.

An hour passed and Cody and Rex ended up doing research on what could have possible gone on during the gaps of Fives story. Cody hand a few theories and so did Rex, but all of them were bad. Bad in the sense that neither wanted them to be true, but they had to be open to all possibilities.

"Rex," the voice startled both of the older clones making them turn to Fives who had curled into a small ball and was shaking on the bed.

"Fives," Rex whispered seeing the shaking setting down his whiskey glass and data pad moving over to the bed Cody following behind him easily.

"Sorry sorry sorry. Give me… give me a sec. Sorry sorry sorry. Just a nightmare," Fives spoke quietly shaking still.

"Don't worry vod'ika we got you. You don't have to be sorry," Rex spoke quietly gathering the ARC into his arms meeting Cody's worried gaze.

No Fives didn't deserve to go through what had happened to him. Rex and Cody agreed on that. Now they were going to make sure it never happened to their Fiv'ika again. No matter what.
